Trying to publish my application to our web server by:

1. Publish to a local directory (C:\ClickOnceApps\) on my dev PC

2. Installation Folder URL: is set to our real web server URL (i.e. https://www.company.com/ClickOnceApps/)

3. manually copy the files over to our web server from my dev PC via RDP

4. Navigate to https://www.company.com/ClickOnceApps/Publish.htm and get the appropriate Install web page

5. Click on the Install button and get "HTTP Error 404 ... The Page cannot be found" pointing to https://www.company.com/ClickOnceApps/Setup.exe -- the file is there along with other deployment files

Any suggestions why ClickOnce is not working?

think you misunderstood, the URLs I listed are bogus, that was just for examples sake.

I solved the problem, apparently I need to create a virutal directory in IIS pointing to the physical location of my clickonce deployment files. Now works.

It can't find the installation, so you have apparently put them in the wrong place.

If there some reason you don't deploy the files directly to the web server? If they won't give you http access (many won't), then can they give you ftp access to that specific folder? Then you can publish to ftp://(etc), and have the http address as the installation url.

Which version of VS are you using, 2005 or 2008?

I knew the urls were bogus. I assumed you already had the virtual directory stuff defined. Silly me.

I'm glad you got it to work!
